My name is Daisy Margolis and I'm an aspiring writer and performer from London, UK. Having studied Education with English and Drama, I am a firm believer in the power and importance of the arts in education and very much hope to make a difference in that sector. As a bisexual writer and performer, I am also a proud LGBTQ+ advocate passionate about greater representation in film and TV, particularly when it comes to discussing how we as an industry can improve the quantity and quality of LGBTQ+ characters on screen. I am also an avid mental health advocate and hope to spread awareness about mental health and wellbeing through my writing. As well as writing, I love to sing, dance and knit and compete with my cheerleading and gymnastics team.
